You have a glaring omission here: Washington state. The newly elected governor there was the most recent state AG, and sued the last Trump administration possibly more than any other state, with a positive record. Ferguson won by a large margin, and I believe Democrats also picked up more state congressional seats. He is very pro human rights and pro union.

I worked for years with his AAGs, and he was my King County Council Representative back in the day. Ferguson is smart, honest and knows the law.

Someone should interview him on the subject of Governor response. I personally would enjoy learning more about him and his ideas and convictions.

IтАЩm sure he will, once heтАЩs sworn in. HeтАЩs a very thoughtful leader.

Gov Hochul of NY also put out a strongly worded statement of defiance. тАЬThe safety and wellbeing of New Yorkers are my top priorities,тАЭ Governor Hochul said. тАЬIтАЩm committed to working with anyone on policies that make our state stronger, safer and more livable тАФ but my administration will also be prepared to protect New YorkersтАЩ fundamental freedoms from any potential threats.тАЭ

The New York Dems are about as embarrassing as the Yankees at the World Series this year. Hochul is somewhere between incompetent and corrupt so I wouldn't put her in the Ferguson category. Oh and Eric Addams, the NYC Mayor who is clearly working for a Trump pardon from all his corruption indictments, is her bestie.

Why would Trump pardon Adams? I wish Adams would just resign, and I donтАЩt know what you are talking about when it comes to Hochul. Sources?

Well, a quick survey of Hochul issues include that her first Lt Gov candidate was indicted for bribery and Dems from AOC to Pelosi have generally agreed that the Dems lost those key NYC House seats in 2022 because of Hochul. There's plenty more. Politico has a whole New York section, City and State does good NY coverage and we have a local news channel called NY1. Addams has been comparing his charges with Trump's and how its all a conspiracy from the same people, repeatedly aligning himself with Trump.

And her 1st Lt Gov resigned. What does that have to do with her? Seats flipping in 2022 does not make her corrupt, either. All that means is that in an off year, too many Dems skipped voting. I donтАЩt know what can be done about lazy voters that only vote in Presidential years, if that. What were we supposed to do in the last gubernatorial race? Elect Lee Zeldin? I think we both agree that AdamтАЩs is an idiot and ought to resign.
